Bullshit! Lol
A good first pruning and wiring.....
NOW STYLE THAT THING!
GET SOME MOVEMENT IN THOSE BRANCHES!
you can get A lot more left right out of that wire and branches.
Keep a leaf on the outside of the bends.
This is a great start!
Finish!

Sorry I'm amped up.
I realize you could be happy there.
But don't be afraid to bend the furnt out of those branches.
I ripped this one and it's fine.
Not only that but this is the underside.
No cambium.
If they tear, you gotta leave an for a good week without touching em, but they heal.
Time for me to Smoke!

Thanks Sorce for the tips. Will definitely try and get some more movement in the branches. It feels good to finally work on a tree. Can't wait to start on the tridents I have in the ground.

Honestly, I spent about an hour with Martha every time i go there and ask questions, I have learned so much from her. Saturday early mornings are the best time to pick her brain, there aren't that many people there.

She is great. I just wish I lived closer. Its about a 2 and half hour drive for me to get there, if not I would be there every weekend. lol
